I created this recipe to try to duplicate some appetizers I had last summer from Stew Leonard's famous dairy retail store in Connecticut. They are great as appetizers or as a fun food for kids. I love to make them with bread crumbs seasoned with Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Time 51m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Six 10-ounce chicken breasts, pounded out to 1/2 inch in thickness
12 ounces thin-sliced ham
6 ounces Gruyere cheese
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups ground breadcrumbs (biscuit crumbs preferred)
2 cups wheat flour
1 cup rice flour
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 eggs, well beaten
4 egg yolks
Pinch fine salt
Pinch white pepper
Pinch paprika
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1 pound clarified butter, warmed until soft
Oil, enough for deep-frying

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Take a piece of chicken and place 2 ounces ham and 1 ounce Gruyere cheese in the middle. Roll up the chicken breast tightly and place toothpicks in the ends and middle. Place the chicken breasts in an oiled baking dish and bake for 18 minutes.
  • For the breading: Combine the all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, wheat flour, rice flour, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper, mix well, and place on a large platter.
  • For the hollandaise sauce: Gently place 4 egg yolks in a food processor and add a pinch of salt, white pepper, paprika, the lemon juice and hot sauce. Place the warmed clarified butter into the food processor very slowly until it thickens. To thicken the sauce, add an egg yolk and to thin it out add warm water.
  • Place the baked chicken cordon bleu in the egg wash and then coat evenly with the breading mixture. Repeat process again.
  • Deep-fry the breaded chicken at 325 degrees F for 3 minutes. Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the top of the chicken.

This came out of Taste of Home Feb/Mar 2009. The first time I made this was with cheddar cheese, and it came out too dry for my taste. I would suggest adding butter or mayo to the mixture to moisten it up.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become dry and tough.
  • You can use any type of cheese you like for the filling, but Swiss cheese is a classic choice.
  • If you don't have bread crumbs, you can make your own by crushing crackers or pretzels in a food processor.
  • Serve the cordon bleu appetizers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or honey mustard.
